About 1st Narellan Scout Group

1st Narellan Scout Group - The Friendly Scouts - is the largest, and one of the most active and successful Scout groups in the Hume Region, which stretches in a band along the route of the old Hume Highway from Concord to Picton.

Established in 1964, 1st Narellan Scout Group has served the Narellan and surrounding communities through its dedication to the ideal that young people will make better citizens and be happier individuals if their natural enthusiasm and desire for adventure, and to be with friends, are allied to a sense of purpose and achievement.

Our Scout Group has four Sections:

• Joey Scouts - for those aged 5-to-8 years-old (and must be in 'big' school, or eligible to be, if home-schooled)
• Cub Scouts - for those aged 8-to-11 years-old
• Scouts - for those aged 11-to-14 years-old
• Venturer Scouts - for those aged 14-to-17 years-old

Our Joey Scout, Cub Scout, Scout and Venturer Scout sections meet during the school terms at our Scout hall at Narellan, which is the green building on the corner of Queen and Elyard streets, Narellan - opposite Narellan Town Centre and diagonally opposite Narellan Library. 

Each section has volunteer leaders who provide a wide range of engaging and exciting activities both indoors at the hall and at a variety of outdoor locations. Our Joeys, Cubs, Scouts and Venturers play games, learn the basics and hone their skills in bushcraft, camping, safety in the outdoors and outdoor survival skills, go on adventures such as bushwalking, hiking, cycling/scootering, swimming, canoeing and indoor rock climbing, and participate in community events and activities such as ANZAC Day and the Camden Show.

Our Group is run by a team of volunteer leaders, who are committed to providing guidance, support and mentorship to your child throughout their Scouting journey. Together, we strive to create an environment where your child can thrive and gain valuable experiences.

The aim of Scouting is to encourage the physical, social, intellectual, spiritual and emotional development of young people so that they can take a constructive place in society as responsible citizens.

Scouting is unique in that it encompasses so many different types of activities and skills in a safe and fun environment, giving the youth a ‘taste’ for learning new skills, that could lead them to future hobbies, adventures and careers. 

The Scout Method offers a framework within which important ‘life skills’ can be learned through Learning by Doing, such as leadership, teamwork and responsibility, trustworthiness and honesty, self-belief and courage, self-reliance and initiative, community spirit and helping other people, first-aid and caring for the environment.

Scouting Journey

Today's Scouting youth can take part in an extraordinary variety of outdoor activities, from ‘traditional Scouting skills’ such as camping and bushcraft, through to more extreme challenges such as abseiling, overnight hiking, rafting, canoeing, canyoning, snow activities, rock climbing, sailing… and even flying!

The Scouts Australia Program also incorporates contemporary issues such as youth health, ‘responsible risk-taking’, vocational skills, and issues pertinent to Indigenous Australians. We offer an Award Scheme that encourages participation in the full range of activities available and provides recognition of individual achievement.

We look forward to accompanying you and your child on their Scouting journey!
